We have not solved the SMP startup printk locking yet. That explains the
mangled log messages.
Unless I'm mistaken we still decompress some parts multiple times
concurrently to the same address and that can crash the code.
Overlapping stack might also crash the code during lzma decompression.
Decompression of AP code should happen on the BSP or on exactly one AP,
but not on all APs.
